[SLUG] curious javascript phenomenon

[luke]

Hi.

I have a javascript file that gets imported into a php page.
The javascript checks form entry.
Basically, the script checks for empty fields with:

/~
function isEmptyString(s) {
for (var i = 0; i < s.length; i++) {
var c = s.charAt(i);
if((c != ' ') && (c != '\n') && (c != '\t')) {
return false;
} // end if
} // end for
return true;
} // end isEmptyString()
\_

Then in some cases, it checks for non-empty fields using
'!isEmptyString()' and evaluates a field for correct data.

The curious thing about this is that if I name the the file:
'cust.js', one particular field doesn't get checked.
If I name the file something else like 'testJS2.js', then all checking works
absolutely perfectly.

I have copied the working file to the non-working file and then tried 'cust.js'
again. However, the same error.
Both files are exactly the same size.



That baffles me.

I've tried starting a fresh browser (firefox), thinking it may be a cache
problem. In fact that's still the only thing I can attribute this too.

Anyone have any clues?
Kind regards.
Luke.

Oops.
It was cache :-(
I hadn't closed all browser instances.
KR.

Do you have more that one _javascript_ fragment called 'cust.js'?
